A craft or trade is a occupation or a profession that requires particular skills and knowledge of intelligent work. In a historical sense, particularly the middle Ages and earlier, the term is usually applied to people occupied in small-scale production of goods, or their maintenance, for example by tinkers. The customary term craftsman is nowadays often replaced by artisan and rarely by craftsperson (craftspeople).

Historically, the more specialized crafts following tall value products tended to concentrate in urban centers and formed guilds. The knack required by their professions and the craving to be for all time functioning in the dispute of goods often demanded a generally unconventional level of education, and craftsmen were usually in a more honored direction than the peasantry in societal hierarchy.

Some crafts, especially in areas such as pottery, woodworking, and the various stages of textile production, could be practiced on a part-time basis by those in addition to lively in agriculture, and often formed part of village life.

Once an apprentice of a craft had ended his apprenticeship, he would become a journeyman searching for a place to set up his own shop and create a living. After he set in the works his own shop, he could then call himself a master of his craft.

This system of a stepwise gain access to to mastery of a craft, which includes the obtainment of a certain amount of education and the learning of skills, has survived in some countries of the world until today.

Thus, they participate in a sure hostility of labour together with industry and craft.

The term crafts is often used to characterize the relatives of artistic practices within the intimates decorative arts that traditionally are defined by their membership to vigorous or utilitarian products (such as sculptural forms in the vessel tradition) or by their use of such natural media as wood, clay, ceramics, glass, textiles, and metal.
